Speed and agility is vital for rugby players to stand up to the vigours of a match or training session. You can combine fitness drills with your coaching sessions to give your players an all-round rugby education.
You will find that if you keep your players fit with speed and agility skills they will be much more likely to benefit from tackling sessions because they will have the power and energy to make them work.
Here's a good exercise for speed and agility.
* Place 2 markers 10m apart to form a line. Stand facing across the line.
* Rotate the lower body to put one foot over the line the other behind it.
* In a small jumping action, repeatedly switch the stance by rotating the lower body to place the other foot over the line.
* Jump and rotate as fast as possible.
* Move slowly sidewards, towards the far marker.
* Make contact with the ground on the balls of the feet.
Repeat 5 times, with a 90 second rest between repetitions.
